Water scarcity is one of humanity’s most pressing problems. Now engineers at Caltech have developed a new system that can tap into two different sources to produce fresh drinking water, by purifying dirty water during the day and collecting droplets fr… Continue reading “Micro-tree” hybrid harvester purifies water and wrings it out of air
In a way, the magic of a soil moisture sensor’s functionality boils down to a simple RC circuit. But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it …read more Continue reading Soil Moisture Sensors, How Do They Work?
Pipes, instruments and surfaces that come into contact with salty water usually end up with a corrosive layer of salt and other dissolved minerals caked on, which needs to be scraped or washed off. Now, engineers at MIT have developed a new method for … Continue reading Strange salty “crystal critters” help thwart fouling of metal surfaces
Desalination is an important technology that may help expand the world’s supply of drinking water. Now, engineers in China have demonstrated a new, relatively simple design for a solar still with a high efficiency and low cost.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Efficient solar desalination unit uses titanium-coated diaper material
In many parts of the world there may not be much precipitation, but there is a fair amount of water vapor in the air – particularly at night. An experimental new device draws in that vapor, then uses it to irrigate edible plants.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Self-contained SmartFarm grows plants using water drawn from the air
Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a new method for 3D printing graphene aerogels that work well as water filters. The team says this technique helps make graphene aerogels scalable and stable enough to be used over and over.Contin… Continue reading 3D-printed graphene aerogel makes efficient, scalable water filter
In a strange discovery that has implications for air quality and climate models, a team of researchers has found that aerosol particles can contain up to three liquid phases at once.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Water, Climate, Climate Crisis,… Continue reading Multiple liquid phases discovered in air pollution aerosol particles

Ironically, many of the places that most require water purification have the least-developed infrastructure. That’s where a new filtration device comes in, as it’s activated by the sun – and it’s said to perform better than other solar-powered purifica… Continue reading Spongey filter releases purified lake water when set in the sun
How far do you have to go for a glass of clean water? Not very? Just go to a sink and turn on the faucet? We would venture to guess …read more Continue reading Earth Day Challenge: A Better Way to Wrangle Water
